I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 157 Cruel Means.
I should have thought of it earlier!
Looking at the chaotic crowd, Zhang Rui's face remained calm, but a surge of anger rose in his heart.

"How is Lord Shen Yuan now?"

"The one the Shen family is protecting now is said to be in a miserable state. His hands and feet were cut off, his eyes were blinded, and even his tongue was pulled out." Hong Lie said with a gloomy face, "I don't know what force is capable of doing this. That's the future of the Shen family!"

Hong Lie had a very good impression of Shen Yuan. This guy was a mystery fan just like his grandfather. Although he was born into a noble family, he was a capable official. Since he inherited the Dali Temple, he had perfectly solved several difficult mystery cases in the capital, and he had a very upright stance. He was one of the few young people who suited his taste.

If all the people from aristocratic families were like Shen Yuan, there might not be so many troubles in the world.

Zhang Rui's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, his anger grew even stronger, but his thoughts were clearer than ever before.

I should have thought of it.

Shen Yuan, like himself, can see evil spirits. If there is any force in the dark that wants to do something big, they must destroy Shen Yuan's eyes. The fact that he can see evil spirits is only vaguely known to the Lu family, but Shen Yuan's ability to see evil spirits is known to everyone in the world, so he is the first to be targeted.

The purpose of using ruthless force is to obscure the intention, making people feel that it is a personal vendetta, and not deliberately suspect that someone wants to destroy his eyes.

But why didn't he kill the other party directly? Zhang Rui was a little confused.

Because in his opinion, it would be simpler to assassinate directly than to torture her like this. Doing this now seems a bit deliberate. Anyone who is a little smart should be able to guess it.

Who will be the key?

"Do you have any ideas?" Hong Lie asked in a low voice.

Zhang Rui shook his head: "Not yet."

As for motives, anyone who wants to cause trouble has a motive, including the Painting Spirit Master, the Qi Family, and the Qin Family.
"The Shen family chose His Highness Li Yu, right?" Zhang Rui recalled.

"Yes," Hong Lie nodded, "The one with the least risk."

"That's not necessarily true." Zhang Rui shook his head slowly with a heavy face.

"Hmm?" Hong Lie was stunned: "Why do you say that? Could it be Li Yu?"

"It's not certain yet. Let's go to Yun Yi first. His competition should be about to start."
-
"Something happened to Shen Yuan?" Old Qi, who was watching the game in Qinglong District, was also stunned. He didn't expect that someone would dare to touch Shen Yuan at this time!

"Yes," the Shen family's housekeeper replied in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Minister Qi’s expression became serious.

Now he does not want a big chaos in the capital. On the contrary, he hopes that this competition can go smoothly. Li Qingtian will no longer care about the crown prince's ascension to the throne as agreed, then everything will not be a big problem. However, if any big turmoil occurs, then there will be variables in the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

This kind of change is not what he wants.

"The people who dealt with Shen Yuan were extremely cruel." The housekeeper said, recounting Shen Yuan's situation.

Upon hearing this, Minister Qi frowned even deeper: "The drunkard's real intention is not to drink, the person in the dark wants to destroy Shen Yuan's eyes!"

"Then why not just kill him?" the butler asked curiously.

"Shen Yuan cannot be killed." Minister Qi shook his head. "The evil spirit in his body is very unusual. If we kill the host rashly, the riot that occurs is likely to disrupt the other party's plan. And once we are entangled by that kind of thing, it will be troublesome."

The butler nodded when he heard this. If a sorcerer was killed, the evil spirit in his body would riot uncontrollably if not suppressed immediately. High-level evil spirits, especially those at the Yin God level, would most likely attach themselves to the being that killed its host. This is why most of the martial arts sects did not like sorcerer families, but did not dare to actually take action against those sorcerers.

"It seems that there is no peace anymore." Minister Qi sighed.

"Who do you think did it?"

Minister Qi shook his head. In the current situation, even if he had great qualifications, he couldn't figure out who it was. The Shen family was on the side of the Jiang family. The people who attacked him at this critical moment were most likely not from the Jiang family. But if it wasn't them, how many forces in the world could secretly injure Shen Yuan like this?
This is the capital city, and Shen Yuan himself is an extremely good sorcerer, careful and cautious, and he has the Nine Ministers Seal on him. Unlike the other Nine Ministers, the Dali Temple's National Guardian Yin God is always active. In other words, as long as Shen Yuan activates the Nine Ministers Seal, as long as he is within the capital city, the judge can rush to any place in a few breaths at most. In terms of trouble level, Shen Yuan should be the most troublesome one among the sorcerers in the capital city.

After all, the only person in the world who could make Shen Yuan unable to even use the Nine Ministers Seal is probably a master-level figure.

Could it be Master Yi who hasn’t escaped yet?
As he was thinking about it, the competition on the stage had already begun.

Aoyun Sect's leader Yun Yi faced off against Leihuo Sect's disciple Pan Hai! At this moment, Pan Kai stood on his seat nervously, looking at his most outstanding son, his eyes full of worry.

Warriors also value inheritance and qualifications. Without outstanding children, no matter how many resources and martial arts they have, they are useless. Among his own children, Pan Hai has the best qualifications. If trained normally, he should be the one who can inherit his mantle and step into the ranks of half-step grandmasters. As long as they persist for three generations, the Leihuo Sect will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains.

But this child happened to be born in this generation, and now everything depends on the Qi family, so he has to be sacrificed.
At this moment, on the fighting field, Yun Yi looked at his opponent solemnly. Pan Hai opposite him was short and strong, with dark skin and a ferocious look on his face. People would want to stay away from him even from a distance. It was obvious at first glance that he was a villain.

But as a warrior, Yun Yi saw more.

Most people in Donghai have darker skin, but Pan Hai's skin is obviously abnormally dark. It doesn't look like skin color, but more like the purple skin caused by excessive toxic blood in the body!
Are these Pan family members crazy in order to win?
Yun Yi frowned and sighed, then clasped his fists and saluted: "Yun Yi from Ao Yun Sect, greetings to Brother Pan."

Pan Hai on the opposite side was obviously not a talkative person. He just nodded slowly, clasped his fists in return, and then got into position.

The blood in his body was boiling, veins bulged, his muscles expanded like balloons, his bones made crackling sounds, the green rock under his feet shattered, his tyrannical aura was so strong that even the people in the audience could clearly feel it, and they all cheered!

The matches played by masters who are good at hard skills are often more exciting than those played by masters who are good at internal skills.

Yun Yi sighed inwardly as he watched. The opponent just stimulated his qi and blood, and dark purple blood overflowed from his pores. It was obvious that his body had reached its limit. It was obvious that he had used some temporary drugs in order to win.

Even if he wins this game, the opponent will most likely become a useless person in the future.

The difficulty of practicing hard skills is much greater than that of practicing internal martial arts. One has to endure severe pain in winter and summer, and temper his muscles and bones. One has to endure what ordinary people cannot endure, in order to achieve some success. The Leihuo Sect's skills even require the use of gunpowder to temper the body. Not only is it extremely painful, it also puts a huge strain on the body. If one does not take proper care of oneself, one's old age will inevitably be miserable.

But the other party doesn't seem to have to wait until old age, at most two or three years, he will
Shaking his head, Yun Yi had no time to show mercy to others. He had his own people to take care of, and he also had to create a world for those little brats.

boom!
Yun Yi took a stance, with internal energy surging around him and strong winds gusting wildly. Although he did not have the strength of Pan Hai to shatter the green rock under his feet, the air flow around him was surging and the true energy was visibly surging. Anyone who knew the subject could see that Yun Yi's internal skills were extremely high.

"I've never heard of this leader of the Aoyun Sect before. He has such a deep inner strength."

In the Qinglong District, the elders of the Sword Sect were all amazed: "This internal strength is probably not worse than some of the elders of the Tianyi Sect."

"Well, it is indeed extraordinary. It is said to be a new sect in the southwest. It can fight for a place in the situation where the Five Poison Sect has a monopoly. It is indeed quite capable."

"Pan Hai from the Thunder Fire Sect is not weak either. With his Vajra-slaying skills, I'm afraid the direct descendants of the Dragon Elephant Temple will have to be careful."

"An evil way." The elder of the One Sword Sect shook his head in disdain. "Using gunpowder to temper the body is a waste of time. This kind of practice that hurts the foundation of the body cannot last long. However, as a new sect in the Central Plains, we do need this kind of desperate practice to make a name for ourselves."

People from other martial arts sects were secretly observing. Both the Yun Yi Sect and the Leihuo Sect were newly emerging sects. Once they got the Wu Mu quota, they would come to compete with them for resources. Deep down, they didn't like either of them.

But in comparison, I still support Yunyi more.

Those who practice internal martial arts all have some of the bearing of a master, and usually abide by the rules when competing for benefits. Unlike the Leihuo Sect, it is obviously a group of ruthless people who fight for their lives. This kind of sect that does not abide by the rules should be the easiest to be excluded, but it happens that they have the Qi family behind them.

The combination of Workaholic and the Minister of Justice is really a headache.

"Don't you use weapons?" Pan Hai asked on the stage.

"I am better at using my bare hands." Yun Yi said with a smile, "Brother Pan, please go first."

Pan Hai nodded, no longer being polite, and pounced forward using his martial arts skills.

Hard skills also require changes. If the opponent uses weapons, you must adjust your muscles at any time to prevent the weapons from breaking your skills. If it is bare-handed, there is no need to be so precise, just use all your strength to stimulate the skills. Relatively speaking, he also prefers to compete with opponents who are good at bare-handed.

But Yun Yi had just demonstrated a level of internal strength that was quite impressive. Since the other party was so courteous, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

With his mind method running, he took a step forward. The powerful force shattered the green rock within a ten-foot range under his feet. With the strength of his steps and the power of his waist, a terrifying fist broke through the air, and actually formed a terrifying high temperature directly in the air. The huge fist was like a red-hot iron in the fire, with astonishing power!
Everyone in the audience applauded when they saw this scene.

A group of experts also gasped in shock. Although the Leihuo Sect was an evil sect, its power was quite strong. Many elders of the sect felt that they could not withstand this punch and had to avoid it.

At this time, Sect Master Leihuo on the stage was even more worried.

My son used the secret technique of triple fire right from the start, and he was ready to fight to the death. It seems that Yun Yi is indeed difficult to deal with, otherwise my son would not have fought so hard right from the start. I hope everything will go smoothly.
